Torie Feldman, Ancestral Healing Guide and
Women’s Legacy Mentor

Hello, beautiful soul! I’m honored you’re here.

A big, warm welcome to you and to the many wise ancestors who walk with you.

I am Torie Feldman, Founder of Sacred Ancestry, a global movement of women healing their ancestral lines.

I guide women through ancestral connection practices to reclaim their connection to their roots, receive the unique medicine of their ancestors, and create a Lineage of Love in this lifetime.

With over a decade of experience in the arts of healing, facilitation, and priestesshood, I weave together spirituality, shamanism, mysticism, mediumship, womb wisdom, priestess arts, and ongoing study of Mystery Schools and cultures all over the world. I specialize in the intersection of ancestral healing, feminine embodiment, and spiritual studies — helping women to connect to their ancestors, trust their magic, and embody their full-spectrum spiritual gifts in a deeply grounded and embodied way.

I live on the unceded indigenous land of the Tongva and Chumash, also known as Topanga, California. My ancestors are Jewish, Czech, Hungarian, Polish, and German.

This Movement belongs to ALL of us. It is a living, breathing ceremony of reverence for our ancestors and for our precious Mother Earth. What we are creating together here is a devotional offering for the generations to come.

Sacred Ancestry is a global movement of ancestral healing, connection, remembrance, and wisdom returning into collective consciousness.

Imagine a world where an entire global culture remembers the power of our ancestors and being connected to our roots.

Imagine a world where the wisdom of our ancestors is spoken of and accepted in every household.

Imagine a world where healing the pains of the past, our families, and our lineages is a cultural norm.

Imagine a world where we are all deeply connected to our roots and know how to source our power, worthiness, and soul gifts from within.

Imagine a world where ancient wisdom is remembered and integrated into every part of life on personal, familial, and systemic levels.

Imagine a world where we can build on the foundation of our ancestors' wisdom instead of building a foundation based on our ancestors' wounds.

Imagine a world where we can build on the foundation of our ancestral wisdom and pass on the torch to future generations, bright, well, and ALIVE.

Imagine a new paradigm where the voices of the earth, ancestors, feminine, intuition, body, and spiritual world are deeply honored.

This, and so much more, is happening right now.

And you are a part of it.

I was constantly seeking healing, wisdom, and answers outside of myself — until I connected with my ancestors.

MY STORY

Even though I grew up Jewish and went to Hebrew school for 5 years, I wasn’t raised to understand the deep wisdom and spirituality that lived in my lineage. I felt that I had inherited a culture of “whiteness,” fast food, fast cars, celebrities, and a religion I didn’t resonate with.

A part of me longed for true spiritual lineage and connection to the earth-honoring ways which were modeled so powerfully by indigenous cultures all over the world. I grew increasingly passionate as I studied these cultures through travels and a degree in Cultural Anthropology, and devoted myself to supporting indigenous cultures in passing down their elder’s wisdom, traditions, and ancestral ways.

After volunteering on ancestral cultural revitalization projects for a year on a Native American Reservation, I had an awakening. I realized that I was a white girl, disconnected from my own ancestors’ wisdom, and trying to help the elders in another culture pass down their knowledge to future generations.

I saw that I was coming from my own deep wound of separation from my ancestors.

I felt the pain, grief, disconnection, anger, and loneliness of the separation from my ancestors and their wisdom. So, my own journey of true ancestral connection and healing began.

I began interviewing my elders and recording their stories. I built out family trees, piecing together what we still had left after the Holocaust. I dove into the practices of my own Jewish lineage and explored my own intuitive ceremonies to connect with my wise and well ancestors for healing.

It wasn’t always easy. Because I was so disconnected from my Jewish culture, the language, the rites, and the spiritual practices, I often found myself feeling like an imposter in Jewish spaces. I had been so disconnected from my roots that I felt alone, even in places one would hope to find belonging. I stumbled a few times. I got called out for cultural appropriation, dove into anti-racism work, and decided to keep showing up.

A few years later, an experience changed my life: While visiting one of my ancestral homelands, I experienced a radical full-body awakening.

I felt every single cell of my body come alive. Tears poured from my eyes, my entire nervous system relaxed, I felt my ancestors within me, and every cell and my soul itself hummed with the feeling of, “I’m Home.”

I felt — bone-deep and on a soul level — how connecting to my ancestors brought me a sense of belonging, wholeness, healing, and remembrance that I had been searching for my entire life.

Everything changed after that. I began inviting my wise and well ancestors to walk with me, teach me, guide me, protect me, and help me heal. Over the years, my connection to them deepened through prayer, ritual, meditation, dance, offerings, and embodiment practices. Piece by piece, I began to re-weave the ancient magic, power, beauty, and wisdom within my lineage back into my life… and as a result, it supportedme greatly on my own path of healing my deepest wounds.

Slowly, I began to integrate ancestral connection and healing into my practice with clients. I deepened my studies and research to weave together ancestry, spirituality, and psychology.

Over the 10 years I have been a Spiritual Guide, I have also studied with mentors and teachers of many kinds through courses of study and also through 1-on-1 Mentorships. I have deepened my studies on the topics of shamanism, ancestral healing, inner child work, water priestess wisdom, feminine temple arts, shadow work, womb wisdom, sacred business, dreamwork, beekeeping, emotional alchemy, spiritual lineages in my lineage such as Judaism and Mystical Christianity & Catholocism, as well as other lineages such as Spiritism, Yoruba/Ifa, Umbanda, Candomblé, and more.

I approach the work I do from a place of deep study as well as opening the oracular channel — allowing something bigger to work through us all. In my work, I guide people to connect to their own ancestors through their bodies so they self-source their own sense of wisdom and ancestral connection from within.

It is my mission to awaken a remembrance on our planet — the importance of ancestral healing, connection, and ancient wisdom.

When we heal our relationship to where we come from, it allows for incredible healing to unfold in our lives — more than we could ever imagine. Ancestral healing literally heals at the root level, which can shift our lives and bring miracles.

I would not be here without my ancestors, and I definitely wouldn’t be here without the wisdom of the indigenous cultures who have fought to protect their ancestral wisdom and keep it alive on the planet.

It would be a true honor to walk with you as you connect to your ancestors, heal your lineage, and heal yourself along the path.

I’m so glad you’re here.

From my heart to yours… Welcome.

Our very own ancestral roots connect us straight to the heart of the Divine. The lineages we were born into hold a medicine of healing we need to receive in this life so that we can fully love ourselves, realize who we are, and offer our truest and most liberated self to the world.

My Approach

No matter what your background or culture, you have ancestors. We all have ancestors, and therefore, we all need ancestral healing. Every person has healed, wise, and well ancestors somewhere down the line, often in the ancient past. Through helping each person build a strong connection to their healed ancestors, it lays the foundational groundwork for the deep ancestral healing that wants to unfold in our lineages.

How we can bring healing to ancestors who are unwell? I never recommend connecting to ancestors who are abusive, toxic, or oppressive. When you connect to your healed ancestors, you bring forth the love, healing, and wisdom within your lineage. This creates a safe and protected space for us to do the deep work of healing ancestors who are unwell.

Ancient cultures all over the world have practices of ancestral connection and healing, including everywhere from South America to Africa to Asia to Europe — and even within my own Jewish ancestry. My work is inspired by the fact that we all have healed ancestors, and we can all close our eyes and connect to them to bring healing to our lives and our lineages.

I'm so honored to be on this journey with you.

Welcome.
